Does this answer your question:

5.3 Nested Procedures

Cataloged and in-stream procedures can invoke other procedures (up to 15 levels of nesting). In a procedure, an EXEC statement can invoke another procedure, which can contain an EXEC statement to invoke another procedure, and so on.

Note that an in-stream procedure cannot be defined within another procedure. The sequence PROC, PROC, PEND, PEND is not valid.

I don't know if you can or not. But it's easy enough to test:

//j job ...
//isproc proc
.
.
.
pend

s2 exec catproc

In catproc put an exec stmt for isproc and see what happens.

I don't know if this is what you meant, but it IS what you said.
